Episode 412: Find Darong (1)
The training that started in the morning could not end until noon.
Leaving behind the exhausted elders of Cheonyuhoe, Hoeju leisurely left the Great Hall alone.
Now the first part of Yoo Seol’s daily routine has come to an end.
His face was filled with a satisfied smile, as if he felt refreshed after relaxing his body.
“Hi-Hi. “I played well.”
Yu Seol left the area of Cheon Yuhoe alone and headed to the market.
It is natural for people to feel hungry when they exert themselves.
At this time, Yuseol always goes to the market and buys something to eat.
Socheonseong, whose population had grown significantly, looked completely different from before.
The streets were full of street vendors, and customers were constantly soliciting customers everywhere.
“These are skewers made from the chicken we caught today! “It’s so amazing, just try it once!”
“If you buy one piece of sugar, I’ll give you one more!
Yu Seol crossed his arms and pondered.
The bags were full and there was plenty of food to eat on the streets. It was just a matter of order.
“What should I eat first today?”
After thinking for a while, Yu Seol approached the nearest street stall.
“Oh, Lord Seong, are you here?”
Yu Seol was the most famous person in Socheon City, so there was no one among the stall owners who did not know him.
Moreover, this was also a store I frequented often.
“You asked me to keep your change before, right? “Please give me a chicken skewer.”
“Yes, of course. “If you’re hungry, come anytime and eat as much as you want, Seongju.”
Yuseol was handed a skewer and quickly started eating it.
I enjoyed it so much that my cheeks swelled up.
“So my goodness~”
Her face was filled with a happy smile.
That time when I swallowed the chicken in my mouth like that.
Suddenly, Yoo Seol started looking around his head.
It was only for a moment, but it was because I detected a familiar presence nearby.
‘huh? ‘It’s strange. It must have been around here.’
Yu Seol’s prediction was not wrong.
As if waiting, a familiar female voice came from behind.
“Did Seol come out to eat delicious food alone?”
When I turned around, I saw a swordsman wearing a white coat wearing a bamboo robe approaching me with a smile.
“Soso sister!”
Eum-goe and Geom-hu, reunited for a long time, hugged each other and giggled in delight.
“how have you been doing?”
“Ugh~ What’s going on here?”
“My sister came to see Seol. hungry. Shall we eat something and talk?”
There were a lot of rumors about the food here in Socheonseong.
You can’t buy cheap street food for a long-awaited guest.
Yu Seol pulled her towards his favorite guest cup.
“Let’s go this way, sister. “I know it’s delicious.”
The two went into a place called Yeonhwa Gaekjan, ordered several dishes, and started chatting.
Since it was Socheonseong where Cheonyuhoe was located, there were many martial arts people among the guests.
Naturally, attention was drawn, but the two didn’t care and had a long conversation.
“By the way, where has Elder Yanggoi gone? “I couldn’t find it even if I looked for it.”
“My grandpa? “I’m currently undergoing closed-tube training.”
“What are you talking about. “Why suddenly Elder?”
Soso couldn’t understand.
He has already reached the end of Hwagyeong, so why is he practicing at a closed level?
Yu Seol picked up the duck meat with chopsticks and said indifferently.
“Changryongdae also started moving. “They said they were converging all the crews to Dunhuang.”
“It looks like we’re really close. The final war...”
Eunhwarin’s complexion darkened and he trailed off.
Was it because the air was so freezing? Geomhu changed the atmosphere for the purpose of ventilation.
“Still, I am relieved to see it in person. “Our Lord has trained the core experts of Cheonyuhoe well.”
Eun Hwa-rin, who had a serious expression on her face, grabbed her belly button.
“Even though it’s not the case, everyone is making a fuss and asking me to stop Mr. Hoeju.”
Yu Seol shrugged his shoulders as if he couldn’t understand.
“I am helping the elders. “That way, you won’t die in the future.”
“Ho Ho. That is correct. “Even though it’s painful right now, the experience of fighting Lord Hoe will be of great help.”
“But now I don’t even have time to train. What do we do now?”
It was impossible to remain silent now that the enemy’s invasion was imminent.
However, since nothing was known about their movement route or size, Eunhwarin could only feel frustrated.
Geomhu spoke to the two as if he understood their feelings.
“Please just be prepared to move at any time, Cheon Yuhoe. “My colleagues and I are keeping an eye on them and will update you soon.”
At that time, Yu Seol glanced at So So.
No matter how much I thought about it, she probably wouldn’t have come in person just to tell me this much news.
“But Soso-chan. “Is there anything else you want to say?”
“You’re becoming more and more perceptive. Actually, I came because I had a favor to ask of Cheonyuhoe.”
Yu Seol asked with a grin, as if he knew that would happen.
“What is your favor?”
“There is currently a fearsome beast guarding Bulcheongung, the headquarters of Cheonrei Shrine. “If we don’t prepare in advance, it will be a big obstacle for us later.”
What kind of animal is it that Geomhu speaks like this? I couldn’t understand the rumor at all.
“An animal? “Are you talking about Shinsu?”
“that’s right. It is the red lion who is called the king among the divine beasts of heaven. “He is the guardian deity who has been protecting Thunder Shrine for a very long time.”
Even divine beasts have grades.
Among the divine beasts of heaven, he was definitely someone that a king could not ignore.
Just looking at the giraffe that I managed to catch with my grandfather earlier, it was not normal.
But why do they suddenly bring up the topic of Shinsoo?
“So what do you want from us?”
“I think we need to bring allies to face the Red Lion. But my sister has to leave for Heaven now....”
Shinsoo’s counterpart. Suddenly, something occurred to Yu Seol’s mind.
“Youngsan? “Are you talking about Yeongsan in Hwagwa Mountain?”
Yeongsan Geumhu was a clever monkey that evolved from a spirit being into a divine beast.
Now that he had mastered martial arts, he was able to deal with even a decent level of martial arts expert.
But Soso immediately shook his head.
“no. It’s not even close to Yeongsan. “The divine beast that can face the Red Lion is in Taesan...”
At that time, Eun Hwa-rin, who had been quietly watching from the side, seemed to have noticed something and joined in the conversation.
“Are you...by any chance referring to Sangun?”
Soso nodded with a faint smile.
“you’re right. “I’m in Taishan right now. Can you help me find it?”
“Let alone looking for it, how can we use that fearsome divine power?”
Soso rummaged around in his arms and pulled out something.
It was a wooden paddle with a small bell attached to it. There were two characters written on it: Dalong (多瀧).
“If you show me this, they will follow me obediently.”
Yu Seol quickly accepted the wooden paddle and asked.
“Is your name Darong? “The name is cute too~”
“It’ll be even cuter in person. maybe...?”
Eun Hwa-rin seemed to notice something and began to laugh quietly.
Seeing that, Yu Seol couldn’t hold back his curiosity and asked.
“But how does Chonggwan-nim know Darong?”
“You didn’t hear about that legendary beast.”
